Mitochondrial Weakness in Melanoma Exploited With Existing Drugs

A new study in Cancer has uncovered a surprising vulnerability in melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer: its dependence on mitochondrial function. The findings, led by Jeovanis Gil, PhD, and colleagues at Lund University, suggest that this weakness can be exploited using existing drugs—particularly certain antibiotics and mitochondrial energy inhibitors—offering a promising new therapeutic approach for hard-to-treat and aggressive melanoma…
